Today the Health Service Journal (HSJ) published its first
ever list of healthcare's pioneers from black and minority ethnic
backgrounds.

Turning Point's Chief Executive, Lord Victor Adebowale, was
included in the list.

The HSJ created the list in response to the fact that only 1 in
200-plus NHS trusts has a chief executive from a BME background
despite the fact that 'a growing number of BME leaders are forging
a career and reputation in the healthcare sector − providing role
models and inspiration that could spark a step change in
representation'.

Alastair McLellan, editor of the HSJ wrote in his foreword to
the list; "Doubtless the list is not exhaustive but, by shining the
spotlight on these pioneers, HSJ and its partners seek to provide
inspiration to the huge reservoir of talent that the NHS is failing
to tap."
